VALVE OPERATION
RELIEF VALVE - Closed under normal operating pressures. Valve opens when pressure rises to the set point. Valve will close when system pressure drops below set point.

BYPASS PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE - Opens and modulates to maintain the required pressure.

BACKPRESSURE / SUSTAINING VALVE - Open under normal conditions and closes as upstream pressure falls below set point.


The Model 108-2 consists of the following components, arranged as shown on the schematic diagram:
 
1.) Model 65 Basic Control Valve, a hydraulically-operated, diaphragm-actuated, globe or angle valve which closes with an elastomer-on-metal seal.

2.) Model 1330 Pressure Relief Pilot, a two-way, normally-closed pilot valve which senses upstream pressure under its diaphragm and balances it against an adjustable spring load. An increase in upstream pressure tends to make the pilot open.

3.) Model 126 Ejector, a simple “tee” fitting with a fixed orifice in its inlet port. It provides the proper pressure to the diaphragm chamber of the main valve depending on the position of the pressure relief pilot.

4.) Model 141-3 Flow Control Valve, a needle-type valve which provides adjustable, restricted flow in one direction, and free flow in the opposite direction. On the 108-2, the flow control valve is connected as a closing speed control.

5.) Model 159 Y-Strainer (standard on water service valves) or Model 123 Inline Strainer (standard on fuel service valves). The strainer protects the pilot system from solid contaminants in the line fluid.

6A / 6B.) Two Model 141-4 Ball Valves (standard on water service valves, optional on fuel service valves), useful for isolating the pilot system for maintenance or troubleshooting.
